Winter Weather Policy 2014-2015

Winter Weather Policy can also be found in the Family Handbook

Wauwatosa Catholic School is closed when Wauwatosa Public Schools close. If Wauwatosa Public School does not have a scheduled school day, Wauwatosa Catholic will make the decision to be open or closed.  Please listen to the local radio/television stations or go online. 

Cold Weather—the safety of our children is top priority, so when the temperature or wind chill makes it too cold for children to go outside, we have indoor recess. Please send your children with hats, scarves, gloves,  boots, and snow pants.
